Friday Face Off: Snakes

“‘Hi little cub. Oh no, don’t be ssscared.”

This weeks theme: A cover with snakes.

When I think of Snakes I think of Indiana Jones and there are a kajillion Indiana Jones books so you would think there would be a couple with snakes on them? I found 2, and neither had enough covers. There is literally a book called “Why Did It Have To Be Snakes: From Science to the Supernatural, The Many Mysteries of Indiana Jones” and only one of the three covers has a tiny tiny snake head on the side of the cover! Disgraceful!

Even tho I couldn’t find a good Indiana Jones cover, I still had a couple different good books to choose from:

Inkspell (Inkworld #2)

Snakehead (Alex Rider #7)

The Reptile Room (A Series of Unfortunate Events #2)

My Choice: Inkspell

I don’t remember much about this book other than I loved the book series, and the movie Inkheart had Brendan Fraser in it, which was unfortunate. (I have nothing against Brendan Fraser he just didn’t fit the character)

This is hard! I think I like the middle one best except for the random fox above the “K” ruins it. And I like the right one but it is too Epic Fantasy and not enough YA fantasy.Winner:
I love the ink swirling behind the girl and I like the obvious magic coming out of the book! Its magical.

Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!

They’re all so beautiful, I can’t choose! I might have to go with the Chicken House 2005 edition though. It caught my eye not only because it was the first one in the first row, but I just love the explosion of greenery.

I love the Inkspell design for The Chicken House in 2006 and Mahahon in 2012! Especially the one for 2012 with the girl and the ink along with magic coming out like you said, which I feel fits the book perfectly.
